yeah, a lot of wasted time goes into chasing the glitter or trying to catch and keep fools gold... I say: always run it WET, add water and a drop of Sun laun. soap to your bucket, if it's real.. it'll stay where you can recover it!!
That's a real guy man I can understand what he's talking about! Thank you my good man I want to scatter 10 tons of specular time as it tried to run away from me in the sluice.
Thanks you helped me, I thought I have gold but fools gold. Can I ask, is gold found in the same place as fools gold? I want to continue searching if so.
Yes, they can be found in conjuction with each other but the fools gold will be found with the "light's" material, on top of sand.. you want the "heavy's", the stuff from beneath or on the opposite side of water-way.. gravel, black sand, alluvial deposits on bedrock or sniping stuff from between cracks.. continue to search, prospecting is awesome.. finding Gold is just part of it!!
No need, just let it go out of the pan or sluice!!.. its when you bother to try to catch it (thinking its the real deal) that you'll go mad.. cause it'll float away or disappear in low light!! Just keep panning, if the gold stays in.. its worth keeping :)
Thank you! I needed this example. I tried panning for the first time today in a creek and the gold kept getting away from me. Now I see that it wasnt gold but fools gold. Boy do I feel like a fool! LOL
I'm not a "Rock"-et scientist ;) but.. my short answer is no, in fact enough heat will take metal to it's "Curie" point and can't be magnetized. Something about the heat energy scrambles the atoms so they can't line up to build a magnetic field. Heat will cause pyrite to expand and as the moisture evaporates and the friction can cause a small build up of static electricity, but not enough to shock.. same with drilling steel and it's not by the heat alone.. ??what say you.. anyone else??
Thanks !!! Um ... the denisty of Fools Gold or Pyrite (FeS2, Iorn II diSulfide) is . . . 5.0 g/cm^3. Gold Au is 19.3 g/cm^3. Water is 1.0 g/mL. And if ya don't know the formula for water I can't fricken help.
I've seen gold thats black and its real gold. So how do you tell that? And how do you tell of its silver? I want to prospect for silver but don't know if what I have is silver or not. Excellent video!
It’s funny I came across this video just got A bag of paydirt in and there was a big piece of Mika sitting right across the front of the bag. Thought it was a flat nugget at first but fools gold it is.
Nice demonstration in the pan. Not so much in the test tube. On the middle fork Boise River we had some flakey gold and heavy black sand that really disn't want to separate and took a lot of work when done by hand. The gold settled to the bottom of the blondes just fine, but some would almost always be on top of the heavies to start. Annoying stuff. Keith
the group i belong to, has a gold claim about 50 miles from the city where i live, i brought back some material, processed it in my garage, seen what looked like flour gold, was not sure, then i added some mercury, sure enough, its gold.
Woop-Woop, Yeah!! And.. I pre-wet ALL my material and run it with a few drops of "Sun Free and Clear" low sudsing laundry detergent- breaks surface tension, biodegradable, doesn't dry out hands and makes gold real shiney :) ..checking tailings, not a speck of run over!!
Finally someone shows an easy way to tell the difference between the two. Thanks alot friend!
very welcome... no more wasted time being distracted by fools gold, OR worse yet.. buying more recovery equipment trying to extract the dodgy stuff :)
People are always asking "is this gold?" I always tell them when you have gold in the pan there is no doubt in your mind, you will know it's gold!

high water season.. time to get busy! :)
Thanks you helped me, I thought I have gold but fools gold. Can I ask, is gold found in the same place as fools gold? I want to continue searching if so.
Sometimes, yes. But I have found a lot more places with just fools gold only.
Yes, they can be found in conjuction with each other but the fools gold will be found with the "light's" material, on top of sand.. you want the "heavy's", the stuff from beneath or on the opposite side of water-way.. gravel, black sand, alluvial deposits on bedrock or sniping stuff from between cracks.. continue to search, prospecting is awesome.. finding Gold is just part of it!!
Finally, a video that shows the difference in a simple way!
i love informative videos that are relevant 3 years after posting. Thanks for this.
Thanks as well.. I've learned the answer to life's big questions make good video material :)

So then how do u separate fools gold from real gold
No need, just let it go out of the pan or sluice!!.. its when you bother to try to catch it (thinking its the real deal) that you'll go mad.. cause it'll float away or disappear in low light!! Just keep panning, if the gold stays in.. its worth keeping :)
Thank you! I needed this example. I tried panning for the first time today in a creek and the gold kept getting away from me. Now I see that it wasnt gold but fools gold. Boy do I feel like a fool! LOL
Can anything made of iron pyrite if heated by fire give you a electric shock? Can gold?
I'm not a "Rock"-et scientist ;) but.. my short answer is no, in fact enough heat will take metal to it's "Curie" point and can't be magnetized. Something about the heat energy scrambles the atoms so they can't line up to build a magnetic field.

Thanks man, that was actually pretty well done in an easy to see way and informative
Appreciate the comments, a big thumbs up and.. enjoy your time afield :)
Damn it. And I'm over here thinking I found a gold mine with a recent flood that brought in tons of sand with allot of gold sparkles
..be sure to run the sand WET and with detergent.. anything that stays in the box is the real deal...!!
me too!:(😂
Thank you for explaining this in such a simple way. Thank you!!!
You are so welcome! Keep after it, there's more out there after every big water event..

Add a drop of dishwashing liquid to the water as fine gold will float and the oils from your fingers will only help that to happen
..I use Sun free and clear laundry detergent, as it is biodegradable as well.. and has less SUDS - that will float gold too, =0
really!? So all that floats isn't fools gold!? 😮
I've seen gold thats black and its real gold. So how do you tell that? And how do you tell of its silver? I want to prospect for silver but don't know if what I have is silver or not. Excellent video!
What about fine gold.... It can float
..keep your diggin's wet and use a drop of Sun free and clear liquid laundry detergent.. less suds and bio-D
Just found my first gold flakes today. Know whats happening tomorrow
I'm guessing digging in the "sand box" for gold ;)'
what do you do with all that flaky fools gold? I've got a bucket full.
ask jeff Williams it contain some gold
Hey moonBuggy Thank you for the video me and my kids have been goofing off with panning and dredging, this really helped with finding the good stuff.
Awesome to hear, folks living the dream and passing down the good ju-ju to the next gen.. hope your prospects are prosperous :)
What if it's silver and still silver in the shade?
..then you've do some diggin'.. and it's not gold :/ ..word has it he's still diggin'
Thank you liked your video it was short and straight to point very educational.
Thank you for the help
much appreciated!!
It’s funny I came across this video just got A bag of paydirt in and there was a big piece of Mika sitting right across the front of the bag. Thought it was a flat nugget at first but fools gold it is.
..no more wasted time chasing the brassy stuff and now.. truly holding the goods :)
Is mercury clutching Pirate such as gold

because its heavy and sinks so fast :) ..use the gear icon to go slow motion and it still falls fast!
Best explanation! Cheers mate.
Seems like too much work for little return
...until you catch a variant of the goLD-FLu.. :)
Your video is very informative. Thank you.
..Thx! 1moonbuggy says, "proformance speaks louder than numbers"

thank sir for most important infor.
glad to help, time to get back out..
Very cool thanks 👍🏻
Smash and till you can't roll no mo!!!!-Aplliedscienceguy😂
Great Example, Thanks!
thank you thats very helpful
Certainly.. so cool when you start getting the good stuff, Thx
the rule is simple, if you're not sure if it's gold.. it's not.
Finally a good video
Thanks, having a lot of fun finding color in the low water season.. so look for new stuff posting soon :)
Alright you got me !
..fun huh, thx and enjoy!!
Thanks Lord positive
Soo this is a literal SIKE GOT EM GOLD
